Definitions
- This invention relates to long-term, drop-in-tank lavatory sanitizing materials and to methods for making and using such materials.
- the halogen containing sanitizing agent is usually contained within some type of a dispensing system such as a container or a metering device.
- a container or metering device One advantage of a container or metering device is that the useful life of any given unit of the halogen containing sanitizing agent is extended. Dispensing systems, however, are inconvenient, messy and must be removed from the tank and disposed of when the chemicals are exhausted. This disposal is unpleasant and can reduce the efficacy of germ killing by discouraging the consumer from replacing or replenishing exhausted supplies of the sanitizing agent.
- dispensers control the release rate of halogen containing sanitizing agent in three basic ways: they limit the quantity of water in contact with the agent; they limit the surface area of the material containing the agent exposed to the water: or they regulate the release rate of dissolved halogen containing sanitizing agent by controlling the release rate of the water containing the agent into the body of the tank. Without the container or dispenser, all of the water within the tank can come into contact with the entire exposed surface area of the chemicals.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,863,800 to Gottfried, issued Dec. 9, 1958 is directed to a composition for increasing the dissolution rate of 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin (a halogen containing sanitizing agent) in water.
- the solution for obtaining maximum solubility "within a matter of seconds" offered in that patent is the addition of a comminuted wetting agent.
- One of the formulations discussed in that patent comprised 280 parts by weight 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin, 300 parts by weight NaCl, 360 parts by weight Na 2 SO 4 50 parts by weight NaH 2 PO 4 , and 10 parts by weight of a series of wetting agents.
- the patent also mentions that the tendency of the formulation to form "wet, gummy masses" is avoided by the addition of sodium or potassium chloride.
- Anhydrous sodium sulfate although a useful material for retarding moistening of the composition during storage, cannot act as a substitute for sodium chloride in the composition.
- the principal object of the invention is to provide a toilet cleaning block that releases a halogen containing sanitizing agent at a controlled, substantially constant rate for 2 to 4 months of constant contact with water. At the end of this time the block should be completely dissolved by the water.
- An additional object of the invention is to provide a formulation that regulates the release of the halogen containing sanitizing agent with substantially the same release profile as the block of U.S. Pat. No. 5,178,787 to Hung et al. while being able to provide both a two month size and a four month size having congruent release profiles.
- An advantage of the invention is that the invention uses a less expensive mixture of materials than the mixture found in the Hung et al. patent to achieve a very similar release profile.
- the invention provides a toilet cleaning block that releases a halogen containing sanitizing agent in a controlled, substantially constant rate for about 2 to 4 months of continuous contact with water and its use.
- the block comprises an admixture of an agent that releases a halogen containing sanitizing agent when in contact with water, a given quantity of a bulking agent such as aluminum hydroxide, a sacrificial rate regulating agent, sodium bicarbonate and, optionally, a mold release lubricant.
- the admixture is preferably in the form of a coherent solid resistant to internal water penetration.
- the solid preferably has a density from about 1.3 to about 1.8 g/cc, a ratio of effective surface area to weight from about 1:1.05 to about 1:1.25, and a crush fracturing strength from about 9 to about 109 kg.
- the invention further provides a method for making the toilet block by mixing the halogen containing sanitizing agent, the bulking agent, the sacrificial dissolution rate regulating agent, and the optional internal mold lubricant in the absence of added water to form an admixture.
- the admixture is then molded into a coherent solid that is resistant to internal water penetration.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the ppm net available chlorine delivered by an average of six 100 gram units of a commercial product made in accordance with the Hung et al. patent over a 120 day cycle.
- FIG. 2 is a graph of a single 50 gram unit of a commercial product made in accordance with the invention comprising 65% by weight of "Dantochlor” powder (available from Lonza, Inc., Williamsport, Pa., which comprises about 86% 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin, about 3% dichloro 5,5-methylethyl hydantoin and about 11% monochlorinated hydantoins), 30% by weight aluminum hydroxide, and 5% by weight sodium chloride.
- "Dantochlor” powder available from Lonza, Inc., Williamsport, Pa., which comprises about 86% 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin, about 3% dichloro 5,5-methylethyl hydantoin and about 11% monochlorinated hydantoins
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing a log regression of available chorine over 120 days of two units (after 3 months' storage) of a commercial product containing sodium bicarbonate.
- the toilet cleaning block of the invention is a coherent solid comprising an admixture of an agent that releases halogen containing sanitizing agent when in contact with water, a bulking agent, sodium bicarbonate and a sacrificial dissolution rate regulation agent.
- the block may also contain minor amounts of other materials such as up to about 1% by weight of an internal mold release lubricant.
- An external lubricant may also be used in the manufacturing process to help release the block from the mold.
- Other additives that do not substantially interfere with the operation of the block may also be present, including various cosmetic additives to make the product more acceptable to consumers.
- block is not intended to limit the shape of product to any one configuration. Circular tablets, cubes, spheres and any other desired shapes are within the definition of the term “block” as used herein.
- the agent that releases a halogen containing sanitizing agent when in contact with water comprises the major part of the toilet cleaning block of the invention.
- Any such agent known heretofore can be used. It is preferred that such agents are N-halogenated organic compounds. Preferred compounds are chlorinated and/or brominated phthalimides, p-toluene sulfonamides, azodicarbonamidines, hydantoins, glycoluracils, cyanurates, amines, melamines and the like.
- N-chloro-phthalamide N-bromophthalamide, N-dichloro-p-toluene sulphonamide, 2,5-N,N'-dichloro-azodicarbonamidine hydrochloride, N,N'-dichlorodimethyl-hydantoin, N-bromo-N'-chlorodimethyl-hydantoin, N,N'dibromo-dimethyl-hydantoin, N-bromo-N-chlorodiphenyl-hydantoin, N,N,N,N-tetrachlorodimethylglycoluracil, N-bromo-N,N-dichlorodimethylglycoluracil, N,N'-dibromo-dimethyl-glycoluracil, N,N,N,N-tetrachloroglycoluracil, N,N-dichlorodichloroyl
- dialkyl substituted hydantoins and especially chlorinated 5,5-di-C 1-4 alkyl substituted hydantoins are preferred.
- 1,3-dichloro5,5-dimethyl-hydantoin is the most preferred compound.
- the halogen containing sanitizing agent comprises from about 50% to about 80% by weight of the block, preferably from about 60% to about 70% by weight and most preferably about 65% by weight of the block.
- the bulking agent of the invention is preferably aluminum hydroxide.
- Solid halo-5,5-dialkyl substituted hydantoins dissolve slowly in water.
- the rate of solubility can be increased substantially by the use of a relatively small amount of a solubilizing agent such as magnesium oxide, barium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, or other known compounds.
- a solubilizing agent such as magnesium oxide, barium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, or other known compounds.
- Aluminum hydroxide will decrease the rate of solubilization.
- the quantity of the aluminum hydroxide was maintained within a certain range, namely between about 5 and 10% based on the weight of the toilet cleaning block, preferably about 6-8% and especially about 6.5 to 7.5% by weight, and if the block was prepared such that it had a density falling within a particular range, namely 1.1 to 1.6 g/cc and also if the ratio of effective surface area to weight fell within a certain range, namely about 1:1.05 to 1:1.25, the toilet cleaning block would release a controlled, substantially constant rate of halogen containing sanitizing agent within the range of 0.5 to 5 ppm over a period of 2 to about 4 months of constant contact with water.
- the block will deliver a constant, uniform efficacious level of halogen (0.5-3 ppm) for about 1700 to 2100 flushes and will be completely dissolved at the end of its useful life, leaving no residue in the tank.
- the bulking agent comprises from about 20% to about 40% by weight of the block, preferably from about 25% to about 35% by weight, and most preferably about 30 by weight of the block.
- the sodium bicarbonate may be absent or comprise from about 1% to about 20% by weight of the block, more preferably from about 5% to about 15% by weight, and most preferably about 10% by weight of the block.
- the toilet cleaning block preferably has a density from about 1.3 to about 1.8 g/cc, more preferably from about 1.30 to about 1.60 g/cc.
- the ratio of effective surface area (in square centimeters) to weight (in grams) is preferably from about 1:1.05 to about 1:1.25 and more preferably from about 1:1.10 to about 1:1.20.
- Effective surface area as used herein is the surface area of the block that is exposed to water in the toilet. In practice, one face or a part of one face of the toilet block will always be resting on an interior surface of the toilet. The effective surface area of the block will therefore be roughly the total surface area of the block less the surface area of one of the largest faces of the block.
- the toilet cleaning block comprises a sacrificial dissolution rate regulating agent.
- This agent may be selected from the group consisting of: sodium chloride, sodium sulfate and potassium chloride.
- the most preferred agent is sodium chloride.
- the agent may comprise from about 1% to about 20% by weight of the block, preferably from about 3% to about 10% by weight, and most preferably about 5% by weight of the block.
- Tests performed using sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium borate, magnesium chloride, lithium chloride, sodium silicate, borax (sodium borate decahydrate) and calcium sulfate were not as successful as those performed with sodium chloride, potassium chloride or sodium sulphate, since the block tended to disintegrate or did not last sufficiently long. Sodium chloride provided the best performance.
- compositions using sodium bicarbonate is one containing (1) from about 50% by weight to about 75% by weight, more preferably from about 60% by weight to about 70% by weight, and most preferably about 65% by weight, hydantoin compounds, (2) from about 10% to about 30% by weight, more preferably by 15% to about 25% by weight, and most preferably about 20% by weight hydrated alumina, (3) from about 1% to about 20% by weight, more preferably from about 5% to about 15% by weight, and most preferably about 10% by weight sodium bicarbonate, and (4) up to about 5% by weight sodium chloride.
- selection of an appropriate agent appears to be affected by the solubility of the agent in water. If the agent is too soluble, the block can be disintegrated by the dissolution process, greatly increasing the effective surface area of the block and deleteriously affecting the longevity of the block in use. If the agent is insufficiently soluble, the agent does not affect the dissolution rate of the block, and no results are observed. If the agent is excessively water swellable, then the water absorption process can also lead to disintegration of the block. If the agent is properly soluble, it dissolves rapidly upon exposure to water, without substantial swelling, and thereby exposes additional surface area of the block to water in the tank.
- the toilet cleaning block of the invention is prepared by dry mixing the halogen containing sanitizing agent, the sacrificial dissolution regulating agent, the sodium bicarbonate and the bulking agent, preferably in finely divided form, and an internal mold lubricant, if needed, in the absence of added water.
- Any type of mixer such as a twin-shell, ribbon blender or similar type of mixer that is designed to provide a homogenous admixture can be used.
- the particle size of the sanitizing agent is preferably from about 20 to about 200 mesh
- the bulking agent is preferably from about 100 to about 325 mesh
- the sacrificial dissolution rate regulation agent is preferably from about 30 to about 70 mesh.
- the admixture is then transferred to the mold of a press whose surfaces can be coated with an external mold lubricant if necessary. Pressure sufficient to provide the desired density and effective surface area/weight ratio is then applied to form a coherent solid resistant to internal water penetration.
- the solid preferably has a crush fracturing strength from about 20 to about 240 pounds (about 9-109 kg), most preferably from about 40 to about 120 pounds (about 18-543 kg). Such strength is measured by positioning the block perpendicular to the lower base in a Rimac Spring Tester Model #67 (Rinck-McIlwaine Inc., Dumont, N.J.), applying compression and reading the value at fracture from the recoil protected, zero adjust arm on the dial. In order to obtain the desired properties, the pressure will vary depending on the particular chemical employed and the particles sizes of the particulate within the admixture but is generally within the range of about 50 to 890 kg/cm2.
- the tablets were placed in separate toilet tanks that were flushed 15 times per day.
- the chlorine content immediately after a flush was measured each day.
- the end of the test came when the block released less that 0.5 ppm available chlorine for a sufficient time.
- the average values were plotted as shown in FIG. 1. The results show efficacy over a 120 day cycle.
- a 50 gram (2 month size) tablet comprising 65% by weight Dantochlor powder (about 86% 1,3-dichloro5,5-dimethylhydantoin), 30% by weight aluminum hydroxide and 5% by weight sodium chloride was tested as in Example 1. The results are shown in FIG. 2. The results show good congruence (when correcting for tablet size) of performance over the desired lifetime of the tablet.
- Example 2 Two 100 gram (4 month size) tablets comprising 65% by weight Dantochlor powder, as described in Example 2, 20% by weight hydrated alumina, 10% by weight sodium bicarbonate and 5% by weight sodium chloride were stored at room temperature for three months and then tested as in Example 1. The results were incorporated into a log regression analysis and are shown in FIG. 3. The results show good delivery of chlorine over the four month (120 day) testing cycle.
